Fig. 1 SDS-PAGE of dithiothreitol-treated (lanes 1 to 4) and nonreduced (lanes 5 and 6) enzyme preparations. Xylanase (lanes 1 and 5), cellulase (lanes 2 and 6), glucoamylase (lanes 3 and 7), and α-amylase (lanes 4 and 8) were electrophoresed and stained with Coomassie brilliant blue.

Fig. 2 Xylanase proteins (180 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE and electroblotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. Membrane strips were stained with Coomassie brilliant blue (Lane C) or reacted to bakers' sera with positive EAST to xylanase (lanes 1 to 8) and secondary alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgE. Serum of health care worker with latex allergy (lane N) was used as negative control.
